The sculpture is the first one installed in Rittenhouse Square, and the Lion King crushing the evil snake is a sculpture created by French Romantic sculptor Antoine Louis Barry, symbolizing the monarchy's lion suppressing the evil snake. This sculpture may be seen as a meaningful statement about social order: the lion here generally refers to the royal family, and more specifically, to the city of Lyon, as its emblem features a lion with an open mouth and a royal iris decoration below. The sculpture is now housed in the Smithsonian Museum of American Art in the United States.
